Wtf

"There was a law in India(abolished only about 80 years before) where a widowed woman would be burned alongside her dead husband's body in the funeral pyre. This was done so that the woman would not be a burden to society nor would she fall prey to the advances of other men as her protector(read: husband) was no longer around. If any law has ever disgusted me, it is this one"
